Mozart is hilarity in harmony with terrific writing and performances.

This show and Bernal exude so much warmth and zest for life that both are a pleasure to watch. That continues to be true in season three.

Mozart continues to check back in with the New York players until we return to them in earnest, and like Hailey and Rodrigo’s road trip in Season 2, these episodes work as a kind of extended reverie--though one that is not without its trouble and embarrassment, and yet, that makes it all the more charming.
